Ki-67 expression is superior to mitotic count and novel proliferation markers PHH3, MCM4 and mitosin as a prognostic factor in thick cutaneous melanoma
Ladstein, Rita Grude; Bachmann, Ingeborg M.; Straume, Oddbjørn; Akslen, Lars A. (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2010-04-14)Background: Tumor cell proliferation is a predictor of survival in cutaneous melanoma. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the prognostic impact of mitotic count, Ki-67 expression and novel proliferation markers ... -
Prognostic value of uPAR expression and angiogenesis in primary and metastatic melanoma
Hugdahl, Emilia Signe; Bachmann, Ingeborg M.; Schuster, Cornelia; Ladstein, Rita Grude; Akslen, Lars A. (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019-01-14)Angiogenesis is important for the progression of cutaneous melanoma. Here, we analyzed the prognostic impact of the angiogenic factor urokinase plasminogen activator resecptor (uPAR), vascular proliferation index (VPI) and ... -
Tumor necrosis is associated with increased alphav beta3 integrin expression and poor prognosis in nodular cutaneous melanomas
Bachmann, Ingeborg M.; Ladstein, Rita Grude; Straume, Oddbjørn; Naumov, George N.; Akslen, Lars A. (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2008-12-05)Background: Tumor necrosis and apoptotic activity are considered important in cancer progression, but these features have not been much studied in melanomas.
